Infer what you want, friend. We also sit up front in taxis, if that helps. Or my mate Dave's car when he picks us up.

'git reset' won't. 'git clean', on the other hand, most certainly does. Even then you have to --force it by default, to prevent an accidental clean.

Even reset hard wouldn't delete untracked files. This was a complete overreach by the GUI, performing a clean (and likely a forced one, as git's requireForce defaults to true).

And they did rectify that eventually, giving a warning, and an option to simply reset. It's unfortunate this poor person had to be the trigger for that change.

I remember following the drama back in the day. That warning you saw was the result of this now-classic bug report.

I do. It's quite normal in Australia. We don't live in a dystopian hellhole.

Unfortunately these install instructions also look complicated.

If you read the instructions, it's literally just downloading the binary, and using balenaEtcher to flash it onto the SD card.

That's the thing. People genuinely were upset they "got political", completely missing the machine they were raging against...

To be fair, "sabbatical" sets a precedence on adopting adjectives into nouns. I'm all for using "metallurgical" as a noun denoting workplaces that do metallurgy.

What a great modern take on the US Intelligence 1944 sabotage field manual

Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector beam, so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows.
